Thomas asks…

Do you have to take the physical fitness test before or during the Philadelphia police academy?

I took the philadelphia police test, and wanted to know do you take the physicalfitness test before the academy or during the philadelphia police academy? Also what would they do if you are underweight?

admin answers:

Major departments all require some type of fitness test before they make a hiring decision. Then during the academy they continue the PT.

Underweight shouldn’t matter so long as you meet the minimum fitness standards.

Mandy asks…

What is the relation between your physical fitness and how you manage stress?

How does your physicalfitness level determine how well you manage stress?

Preferably in detail with links to support.

admin answers:

The two go hand in hand.
Your body will effectively suffer for your mental stress, as when you stress you release cortisone, which depletes muscle and fitness gains.

However, fitter people are usually calmer (not always) and have better circulation, allowing them to process the stress and its physical effects.

Donald asks…

What is Aerobic Physical Fitness And Why is it important for everyone to be active?

Can you also give me a few ways how I can improve my Aerobic PhysicalFitness? Thanks!

admin answers:

According to WebMD, “Aerobic fitness increases the amount of oxygen that is delivered to your muscles, which allows them to work longer. Any activity that raises your heart rate and keeps it up for an extended period of time will improve your aerobic fitness.”

You can improve your aerobic fitness by engaging in any cardio activity that raises your heart rate, makes you breathe harder, and ideally breaks you out in a sweat for 20 minutes or longer.
